Minty Veggie Sandwich

My favorite type of meal is Sandwich. I love all kind of Vegetarian sandwiches. Though you don't get much veggie options in sandwich shops outside, I try and make variety of them at home and every time they come out nice. This sandwich was really made at the spur of the moment. I had leftover chutney and didn't want to make just plain old chutney sandwich. So added grilled veggies, well they are not actually grilled but sauteed in a a pan until slightly browned but crunchy. I have kept cheese optional but cheese makes this sandwich extraordinary.
Ingredients

10 bread slices white or wheat

1/2 cup diced green pepper

1/2 cup diced onion

1/2 cup corn

1 small cucumber sliced

1 potato boiled, peeled and sliced

1 medium tomato sliced

5 tbs green chutney(cilantro+mint)
Butter as required
Chat Masala for sprinkling
1/2 Cup shredded Mozzarella Cheese(optional)

Method

Melt butter in a pan and saute all the veggies. Veggies should still be crunchy, just saute it for few minutes. Keep aside to cool.

Take 2 slices of bread. Apply chutney on one slice of bread and butter on other slice. Now take a tablespoon of sauteed veggies and spread evenly on chutney side. Arrange sliced cucumber, potatoes and tomatoes over veggies and sprinkle some chat masala.

Top it with shredded mozzarella cheese and cover it with another slice of bread, buttered side down.

Preheat your griddle or panini maker. Meanwhile apply butter on both sides of prepared sandwich and grill it until nice and crisp on both sides. Enjoy it with your favorite chips and pickle!!

Guide to Green Leafy Vegetables

The idea for this post came from one of my dear friend. She one day asked me what kind of green leafy vegetables you make. I said to her that I make quite a few. She suggested why don't I post pictures and names of the leafy vegetables that we get here in US. I liked her idea and started writing this post. Just a note that I have mentioned only the ones that I have used in my kitchen. There are plenty of leafy greens out there to try! In marathi we call all leafy greens as पालेभाज्या. My mom makes variety of greens but living in US we might not get all of them as in India. I shop for groceries in a Korean store but they carry all Indian vegetable variety plus all other Indian groceries. I tried some new leafy greens and tried to make Indian/Marathi style recipes. I have listed names of few greens that I normally cook with.
